Bielemann RM, LaCroix AZ, Bertoldi AD, et al. - In this cohort analysis, researchers examined mortality risk in correlation with physical activity (PA), based on accelerometry and a questionnaire, in older adults (≥ 60 y) from a city in Southern Brazil. Using Cox regression analysis, the estimation of hazard ratios (excluding deaths in the first 6 mo) stratified by gender was done considering adjustment for confounders. In 2014, overall 1,451 older adults were interrogated, of those, the deaths of 145 (10%) were reported following a follow-up of an average of 2.6 years. On average a 77% and 92% lower risk of mortality was observed in men and women in the highest tertile of overall PA as compared with their less active counterparts. Overall, a lower risk of mortality was reported in relation to accelerometry-based PA in Brazilian older adults. Practicing any type of PA was recommended for older people.
